kriso's 240bhp Ibiza Cupra

[stoobydoo]

Great thanks will try them both
Sorry to ask as its a bit cheeky what sort of price was your car? I don't mind if you don't want to answer, I have seen an 04 reg with 22k 1 owner full seat history and from a seat dealer with 2 year warranty! mint etc, etc, £8300 but will offer £8000 is that too much or a good price as they seem to fetch as much as the civics,

 

[kriso]

I paid £8700 from a non-Seat dealer. It is a 54 plate and had 16,000 miles on it when I got it. But they seem to have dropped in price recently, £8300 seems a little high for a 04 plate but the 2 year warranty is a nice bonus if it covers everything!

nice car mate

 

[kriso]

No updates for a while but I have since fitted a Forge TIP and boost gauge. More pics soon

Coming in next couple of weeks:

Milltek down pipe, sports cat and P Torque Stage 2

 

[kriso]

Got the downpipe and cat fitted today and P-Torque Stage 2 and some runs on the rolling road.

240.2 BHP / 274.3 lb/ft

The car pulls like crazy now, but I'm waiting for some better conditions so I can really push it on the Parada Spec 2s which have so little grip in the wet! I'm not going to do anything more power wise as it would involve a big turbo and lots of $$$

Coilovers and rear spacers are next on the list when I've paid off some debts And I'll get some new pics when it's not pissing it down outside so I can clean my car...

Nice results Kriso - 240 is more than adequate imo! lol

nice car mate, i am taking a liking to the mk4 ibiza cupras now, some nice work and results, im sure more to come?

 

[cupraajy]

liking the progression on the car....keep it up
ive got a yellow mk 4 cupra, (mods in sig) away getting the exhaust fitted on friday....was it a pig of a job to do the TIP looking into to doing that next plus prob the n249 bypass.

 

[kriso]

Thanks guys!

cupraajy - the TIP is a bit annoying but well worth it. N249 bypass is easy, I've had no problems and the DV sound is more noticeable but still doesn't sound over the top.

 

[MrNailer]

hey kriso 240 very nice that with standard turbo?

 

[kriso]

Yer standard KO3s. That's about as high as it will go tho

 

[cupraajy]

yeah...i think the bypass might be the next thing i do...something cheap coming up xmas!!!
Any guides one the forum on how to do it???

 

[AoS]

It pulls.....trust me.
Its fast but in a controlled way, defo recommended
(and I won't mention the roundabout.. )

nice car bud, I'm nearly at the same stage as you Have you got any pics of the back of your car now you've had the downpipe and cat fitted? I fitted mine the other day and it rattled like hell on the brake line bracket on the rear axle so I took it to an exhaust place for them to adjust it and it turned out that I hadn't pushed the pipes together enough. Anyhow, they'te pushed the pipes together properly now and my exhaust sits so far under the bumper it can barely be seen I want it to stick out more but theres no hope without welding in a bit of extra pipe.

Keep up the good work anyways, hopefully my car will be as powerful as yours soon

Cheers, funny you should say that about the rattle! I'm getting a really annoying rattle on idle and when going into reverse and its worse when ppl are in the back. They had to take my cat back off and refit it again when I got downpipe fitted which they didn't seem to do very well I think. I haven't looked underneath the car to see what it's rattling on but I guess it is the same as yours. It doesn't stick out much but it didn't before I had the downpipe fitted either.

How much did you pay to get it fixed?

I'll try and get some pics but it's so dirty at the moment with all the crap on the roads!

 

[kriso]

I took some pics the other day after cleaning it, but my camera has corrupted and lost everything

Here's a pic of the dyno results anyway:
